    Nice. How'd you like the allpros? Why are you getting rid of them? I've looked into a shackle flip and decided it's not what I'm looking for.

    I loved em. Didn't tow heavy as well as the dakars did, but I was only towing that weight a handful of times a year, and the rest of the time they were way more comfortable. Handled dirt bikes and camping gear perfectly. And they were just fine towing my 6klb toy hauler, just sagged more when I did.

    I'm selling them because I went spring under and long travel. IMG_1352.jpg

    But would be perfect timing to sell you the allpro's since I am heading to Tucson on Saturday.

    I had Dakars and
    $81 D29XL Leaf Spring
    D29XL. Constant weight of 350+. Ride wasnt bad. Just recently switched to AllPro Expos. Ride is somewhat smoother. AllPros are thinner leafs.

    I went from an Icon 3 Leaf AAL to the Dakar’s... love it. Nice upgrade in ride and they are super flexy!

    Thanks for the offer but after doing some reading I think I'm going to have to go with Dakars. I'm hoping to do a rack and RTT in the future. And besides, I don't think I can in good conscience roll on springs that have more miles than the truck. Glws!

    They're just pre-broken in but I understand. Just would have been perfect timing since I am heading down there this weekend. Spread the word if you have any Tacoma buddies down there that need some leaf springs.

    I can’t vouch for dakars but I have icon aal without overload leaf. No weight rides great but I can put a lawn chair in the bed an it starts sagging. I will be getting Dakar’s eventually but got this as part of a package deal I am pleased with them unloaded an day to day but I know there is a better option an that is unacceptable for my truck to go without.
